I Newspaper Fan Previews

[Bombadier Botty]

Anyone else read these? Every week an unwitting NSCer becomes a national sensation in the ultimate display of lazy journalism as a post is lifted from here and printed each Saturday under our club crest. Being the I these may also appear in The Independent.

Read them for the first time on the train to Preston. Don't normally buy I but had a few hours to kill. A really good read and interesting to see what other fans have to say about their clubs.

A certain Bozza is today's star turn. It's not what you know....

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Back in the days when the Albion were at Withdean and were playing in the Championship, after each home game, Lady B used to contribute a hundred or so words to the Observer. They paid her to do this.

Does money change hands these days?

 

[The Rivet]

any links to these articles?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Slightly related the last print edition of the Indie today....'I' was bought by some concern I can't remember the name of so will continue, but not sure if the same journalists etc. ....and yes I read the fan comments.

Actually buy The I paper and at 40p no grumbles,yet the spot on Saturday (50p )about clubs and the input from fans is very interesting reading and although like many i have no real interest in any of the other clubs,these snippets i read with interest.

 

[Bozza]

Outrageous.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

So do they just lift comments from forums/twitbook/facer without the poster's knowledge?

I hope that's not the case but what a marvellous way to get free content whilst pretending they had something to do with it.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Outrageous.

Far from it.

By way of massive coincidence I was sent this in a text a little earlier.

As such, I can confirm that there is someone somewhere just scraping and using this stuff.

 

[Bozza]

The full thing.

 

[Notters]

Don't think the I has anything to do with the Independent, or indeed journalism anymore?

Disappointing, I was looking forward to a double page spread in 4-4-2 or OK magazine

It's pretty shocking that they're willing to just go steal posts without seeking any sort of permission, especially for those who have their names attached to the comments.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Trouble is,it's a clever idea and a decent read.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Whether its right or wrong or you agree or not is a different matter.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

They've been doing it for as long as I can remember. I think the only two remaining NSCers whose posts they have yet to feature are HB&B and Das Reich aka 'The Fairy.'

What about ME ?

 

[GT49er]

Seems a reasonable idea. Other fans' posts can be quite interesting - after all, don't we often have links to them on NSC?
